DVDFab Platinum should handle the back up, and remove the copy protection. Just follow the instructions.

If it is a stampted disc and not a burned one, I don't think it would be possible to damage it in your burner. Burning software recognizes the status of a disc and won't let you do anything other than read it.

I find most software pretty good about at least warning you if it is going to do something that will potentially damage things. Either that or it won't allow you to do it.
